thepurpleblob Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Yeh - should we really be compiling lists of best female bass players? In fact, lists of "best" bass players is pretty ridiculous full stop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and folks take them far too seriously. This isn't (G)od sitting down and deciding who's the best, end of story, sit up at the back there and pay attention. It's a list in a magazine, that's all...designed to sell copy or get links shared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked, people don't play bass with their genitals, therefore 'female bassist' is as relevant as 'gay bassist' or 'black bassist.' Don't tempt me to search the dark web Silvia. I am quite sure that someone somewhere has mastered that technique already. Still and all, I take your point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And... er... that's it. I'm not so sure. Many years ago, a female friend who was sick of queuing for the ladies toilets at T in the Park, bought a pack of devices to enable her to pee standing up (they look a bit like a kazoo). She said it took a wee bit of practice in the shower, but she mastered it. She used the device at the gents peeing trough the following year ... it freaked a few of the guys out! My wife has also used these when we've been travelling - she says they are much better than squatting in some of the dodgy toilets you find in some places ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
